Scenes from "The Stone Gods"



Assignment: Create a page from a graphic novel for a sequence of events in the pages of "The Stone Gods" that you present(ed) on, using photos that you shot yourself in or around school. The page should consist of 6 photos, which you then add captions and text balloons to. The events depicted should be self-explanatory and be uploaded to each of the group member's portfolio. I will post them here in order. Add a comment to this post where you explain why you chose this sequence of events, and why it is significant to understanding of the book.

Example of Graphic Novel page:
